There are a ton of helpful guides about installing or upgrading / downgrading to/from the M33 custom firmwares, but I can't find anything that tells me how to use them once I've installed them.

I didn't even know that pressing "Home" on my PSP would bring up a CF menu with an option to copy my game's UMD file onto my computer until that was pointed out to me. Which makes me curious as to what else I'm unaware of. I looked at all the lines or options on that menu & don't understand what their uses are, or what to do after I've selected one (What do I do after I've got my game UMD copied to an ISO & where on my computer would I put it...& then what do I do with it?)

I've Googled, etc., but only come up with installation guides.

Are there any "User Manuals" or "How To" guides that show you how to actually use these CF's after you've installed them?

Please point me to them if you know of any. I really appreciate the time it takes to answer these questions of mine. Thanks

X being your MS

Thanks for your (very brief) reply (^.^)

I've been searching the threads around here & compiled this info so far:

Copying your UMD game onto your Memory Stick
If you're on 3.52 m33-4 or 3.71 m33, you already have a built in umd ripper. just go into the vsh menu (3.52 M33: press "Home" on PSP. 3.71 M33: press "Select" on your PSP) and switch the "USB DEVICE" to "UMD disc". You can also change the "UMD ISO MODE" to "M33 driver" if you don't want to need any kind of game UMD inserted in order to play the game from your memory stick. When you're done with that scroll down to "EXIT" & press the X button on your PSP.

Choose the UMD game you want to back-up & put it into your PSP.

Connect your PSP to your computer with a USB cord. Turn on your PSP & go into USB mode (Do this by scrolling to the far left icons on your XMB {main openning menu} until "USB Connection" is highlighted & press the X button on your PSP).

Ok, so, you've connected your PSP to your computer with a USB cord. This allows you to access the UMD. After you're fully connected you'll notice a window opens up on your monitor. Copy (drag & drop) that file onto your desktop (This is the game rip). After it's finished you can drag it into your ISO folder.

once it's done copying, rename it.

also, you have a choice of leaving it in ISO format, or compressing it to cso, before transfering to the memory stick. umdgen, ciso converter are two programs that will compress iso into cso.

once you ripped all the games you want, go back into the vsh menu (the menu that pops up onscreen when you push the "Home" or "Select" button), switch the usb mode back to memory stick, and exit. then go back to "USB Connection" and enable it. the computer will show the memory stick contents again. Copy the game to the ISO folder, which should be in the root of the memory stick. if there isn't any, create one in all caps; it should look like this, ms0:\ISO

------------------------------------------------------------------
Hasn't anybody else compiled this type of information & posted it in a single-topic thread? If I do...will I actually be the first person to do so? I find that amazing & strange.

Wow that must have taken you a loooooong time to put together! Very impressive.

But, there is so much to look through. I scanned through all of the topics, so I may be blinded by information overload, but didn't see anything that deals directly with how to use Custom firmwares 3.52 M33 &/or 3.71 M33 (not how to install them, but how to use them after they've already been installed).

Sorry for the annoying noob questions, but I'd be ever so grateful if you could point out the specific topics you've listed that deal directly with 3.52 M33 &/or 3.71 M33

Thanks for your time. It's very much appreciated.

Quote:
Themes For 3.71 M33 Are Stored Here:
MS0:\PSP\THEME\

Themes can also be flashed onto the PSP in Flash0.

The correct way to backup 3.71 M33/M33-2 files is by enabling flash0 via Recovery Menu (Don't flash your XMB via VSH menu or you will semi-brick).

This can be accessed through the recovery menu (Advanced Option) and toggling Flash0 (Beware - Flashing files risks bricking your PSP).

Just copy the theme files over in the individual folders that they were downloaded in, DO NOT OVERWRITE WHOLE FOLDER!!!!
(When the flash0 window comes up on the PC go to Tools> Folder Options> View Tab> Show Hidden Files, also Untick the box that says Hide Protected Operating System files).


Movies Are Stored Here:
MS0:\MP_ROOT\MNV0001\

On The Later CFW Movies Can Be Stored Here:
MS0:\PSP\VIDEO\

Games (ISO or CSO Format) Are Stored Here:
MS0:\ISO


The other guides listed that would help you are:

Guide - Converting ANY Video To PSP Format.

Making A PSP Movie

Guide - Run Homebrew On v1.50 PSP.

UMDDaxDumper Tutorial - Dump ISO's to Your HDD.

Guide: How to play ISOS/ CSOS via USB In FW 3.10 OE-A' or lower with usbmount v1.03

How to dump a rip from your PSP game with "USB Special System Storage

Stream TV to PSP Via TVU player and Tvants




Theres lots more in there, thats just a quick skim through

Isn't the "UMDDaxDumper Tutorial - Dump ISO's to Your HDD" pointless since 3.52 M33 & 3.71 M33 CF's do it automatically?

How can "Guide: How to play ISOS/ CSOS via USB In FW 3.10 OE-A' or lower with usbmount v1.03" be of help when I'm using 3.52 M33?

Sorry but i dont have all day to pick out the guides, was just copy and pasting a load at a time across. Also the UMDDacDumper explains how to do it which was your original question ("I can't find anything that tells me how to use them once I've installed them.")

I joined afterdawn.com after reading many threads that were filled with helpfull posts from some pretty nice members. I have to admit that I'm a little dissapointed at the responses I've gotten here. While I am appreciative of the attempt at helping answer my question...I'm discovering that I'm just being directed to outdated & flat out irrelivant information.

Is there no information to be found that explains how to use the newer custom firmwares (3.52 M33 & 3.71 M33)?
